B01313111"V HOLDER FOR BRAIDING vIAC-IINES.

Application led Uctober 31, 1925.

To @ZZ w 7mm t may concern- Be it known that I, lnsnnn KAZARIAN, a citizen of Armenia, residing at Providence, in the county ot Providence and State of 5 Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bobbin Holders for Braiding Machines, of which the following is a. specification.

My invention has reference to an improve- I ment in braiding machines and more particularly to an improvement in bobbin holders for the bobbin carriers otl braiding machines.

The object ot my invention is to improve l the construction of a bobb-in holder 'for braiding machines, whereby the operation ot feeding the thread trom the bobbin is greatly facilitated.

A turther object ot my invention is to simplify the construction of such a bobbin holder thereby reducing the cost of manuacturing to a. minimum.

My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construction et a bobbin holder vfor braiding machines, said bobbin holder having details ot construction as will be more fully set forth hereinafter and claimed.

Figure 1 is a. side view of a conventional form of a bobbin carrier for braiding` machines, said bobbin carrier being provided with my improved bobbin holder.

Figure 2 is a top plan view ot' my improved bobbin holder.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the bobbin holder, and

Figure 4 is a vertical view of the bobbin holder looking in the direction of the arrow a, Figure 2.

In the drawing 5 indicates a bobbin carrier having the usual vertical spindle 6, bobbin 7 vertical tension weight support 8, tension weight 9 and connecting web 10, which extends centrally and vertically `from the enlarged base o1 the spindle 6 to the tension weight support 8. The bobbin 7 has the usual teeth 11, 1l. on its lower end and the thread 12 is drawn from the bobbin through a. side eye 13 in the tension weight support 8, then down through and under the tension weight 9 and then up through a top eye 14, as shown in Figure 1. The thread 12 then gees to the point of braiding the braid.

My improved bobbin holder 15 is constructed to have a central spindle hole 16 Serial No. 66,090.

er adjacent to and on a central line with the hook 20, the legs 21, 21, straddling the web 10, to prevent the bobbin holder from turning on the spindle 6, and a. semi-circular collar 241 is formed on the iat face 17, all formed integral, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and l. A wire 22 is secured at its lower end to the hook 2O and has an upper end 23 bent at right angles around the tension weight 'support 8, as shown in Figure 1.

When in use with the braiding machine in operation the thread 12 is drawn in the direction of the arrow ZJ, thereby raising the tension weight 9, the weight of which gives the required tension on the thread. When the top of the tension weight 9 reaches the upper bent end 23 ot the wire 22, it raises the wire and tilts the bobbin holder 15 into the position shown in broken lines in Figure 1, thereby freeing the teeth 18 and 19, 19. on the holder 15 from the teeth 11, 11, on the bobbin 7 and releasing the bobbin. A predetermined amount of thread 12 is now released and the tension weight 9 again assumes its lowest position, as shown in full lines in Figure 1, as the thread is being drawn to the point ot' braiding, not shown. ly this construction of the bobbin holder 15, when the high tooth 18 on the bobbin holder 15 is released from a bobbin tooth 11, the low teeth 19, 19, on the bobbin holder 15 hold slightly on the bobbin teeth 11, 11, until they are released 'from the bobbin teeth 11, 11, thereby giving a more uniform feed ot the thread, then has heretofore been done.

Having thus described my invention I claim, as new 1. A braiding machine bobbin holder having a high tooth adapted to engage the teeth on a braiding machine bobbin and a low tooth adapted to engage the bobbin teeth, tor the purpose as described.

lll() 2. A braiding machine bobbin holder having a high tooth adapted to engage the teeth ot a braiding machine bobbin and tWo low teeth adapted to engage the bobbin teeth, for the purpose as described.

3. A braiding machine bobbin holder having teeth adapted to engage the teeth on a braiding machine bobbin and legs adapted to straddle a Web lon a braiding machine bobbin carrier, for the purpose as described.

4. A braiding` machine bobbin holder having a high tooth adapted to engage the teeth on a. braiding'machine bobbin, a loW tooth adapted to engage the bobbin teeth and legs adapted to straddle a Web on a braiding machine bobbin carrier, for the purpose as described.

5. A braiding` machine bobbin holder having a high tooth adapted to engage the teeth l as described,

6. A braiding machine bobbin holder having a flat top, a high tooth adapted to engage the bobbin teeth, two low teeth adapted to engage the bobbin teeth, legs adapted to straddle a Web on a braiding machine bobbin carrier and a hook on the holder, all formed integral, for the purpose as described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my naine to this specification.
